Mint Green With Envy and New’s Resolution 1: Solid Gold Success

26 Dec

I’ve noticed an interesting color trend popping up and am wondering if I’m the only one seeing it. Minty green. It’s gorgeous. I’ve seen it paired most often with gold accessories. But it would also be great with it’s darker cousin, emerald green. It’s so chic and elegant and such a nice surprise pop of color. The color is soft enough to not be all up in your face and chic enough to make you feel super posh. Below are some of my favorite pieces I’ve seen the color on. What do you think? Are you going to try wearing it? I myself have a handbag and a peplum dress that I’m going to rock in this fresh shade. Some sparkly gold heels and I’m all set.

In other news, I’m really feeling a black and gold ensemble for my New Years party look. And I think I’m going to go with some killer pants, rather than my traditional dress. I can’t decide between black and gold brocade pants, gold pants or black leather leggings though .Weigh in below! Below are the pieces in the running for my New Year’s look. What are you going to rock in the New Year wearing?

Hope everyone had an amazing, restful holiday! I’m looking forward to lots of creative, fun fashion in 2013!

Be safe out there on New Year’s Eve…well safe in everything but fashion. In that, it’s good to take a few risks.

And as always….

Be Fierce. Be Fashionable. Be Yourself.

XOXO

    yeah, I’m digging MINT. Especially with a “tan” it really pops!

      I agree and there is something very antique and nice about the shade that is coming out now. YOU will look amazing in mint!

    The mint is indeed very pretty, but I think on me, there might be danger of it making me look washed-out. I guess it would depend on what I paired it with, I’d have to try!

      Oh, mint green is lovely on blonds! But if you are unsure, wear it as pants or a skirt first, or maybe in a bracelet. Taking it away from your face usually does the ticket!
